Frequently Asked Questions

Hungryroot is a subscription service that provides AI-assisted meal and grocery delivery. You tell us what you like and don't like, and each week, we pick out healthy recipes, prepared meals, and groceries that we think you'll enjoy and deliver them to your door. If you don’t like any recommendations you can change them before we ship your weekly box. Everything we sell is high quality — no fake ingredients or additives, just real, good food. The more you use Hungryroot, the better we get at shopping for you. With over 50,000 chef-crafted recipes, and new recipes and grocery items added every month, there’s always something fresh to try.

Hungryroot practices strict sourcing standards, screening out over 200+ ingredients like artificial sweeteners, dyes, additives, preservatives, and hydrogenated oils so you don’t have to.

Each week, we’ll offer new suggestions based on your tastes, from quick breakfasts to nourishing snacks to easy dinners. You can always edit your delivery to get exactly what you’d like. Then comes the best part: we deliver your groceries, prepared meals, and recipes straight to your door. All you have to do is cook (most recipes take less than 15 minutes!), eat, and enjoy. See more here.

We offer weekly deliveries to make sure your fridge stays stocked with all of your healthy living essentials. It’s easy to skip a delivery, reschedule it, or cancel your subscription anytime in the app.

After you checkout, you’ll see our grocery, recipe, and prepared meal suggestions based on your responses to the quiz. You can take our recommendations or choose from ~1,000 groceries and over 50,000 chef-crafted recipes. You’ll find products from fan-favorite brands, like Siggi’s, Kevin’s, and Annie’s, and up-and-coming brands we think you’ll love. Our foods always meet our super-high standards: made from whole, trusted ingredients and free from partially hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, and artificial colors, sweeteners, and preservatives.

Absolutely! Our sourcing and culinary teams are always looking for high-quality options in every aisle to make the whole family happy. That includes the staples (like milk and eggs), tons of easy, packable snacks (like fruit snacks and pretzels), and quick, crowd-pleasing recipes like pesto pasta.

We deliver to most zip codes in the 48 contiguous states and Washington D.C. Unfortunately, we don’t deliver to Hawaii and Alaska, P.O. Boxes, or APO/FPO/DPO. We’re working on making it possible to deliver to all zip codes across the country in the future!

Absolutely! You can edit everything in your delivery and get exactly what you want.

Of course. You can make changes to your plan—or update your dietary needs and preferences—at any time.

Each week we’ll recommend groceries and recipes just for you, and you can make any changes you like. Then, we deliver everything right to your door. Skip any week, pause your deliveries, or cancel any time.

You choose exactly how much food you want, and the more you add to your delivery, the more you save. (We bet your grocery store doesn’t offer that!) You can get dinners as low as $8.99 per serving, lunch for $5.99, and breakfast for $3.99. We also offer our Best Price Program, which gives you access to brands you love — like Annie’s, Koia, Harvest Snaps, and more — at the cheapest prices you’ll find anywhere. (Did you know that Hungryroot customers save up to 40% each week by ditching takeout and reducing food waste? Nice!)

When packing your weekly box, we use insulation and ice packs to keep refrigerated items cold during shipping. In the box, anything that’s shelf stable is separated from the refrigerated section of the box to help maximize refrigeration for the items that need it. All materials are 100% recyclable.

At checkout, you’ll be able to apply your discount code.

If your order isn’t perfect, we have a self-help form where you can report what’s wrong and take various steps to remedy the situation. If a shipment is late or missing, please contact our Customer Care team to help resolve your issue.

The average Hungryroot customer saves $200 on takeout and $22+ each week on groceries. How? We source directly from the best brands, and—with over 50,000 chef-crafted recipes—help you make the most of your food each week. That means less food waste, fewer trips to the grocery store, and a very happy fridge.

Hungryroot is an online grocery store, so you can buy pretty much anything you need or want to eat in a week, not just get a few meals delivered. With over 50,000 chef-crafted recipes and a constantly growing selection of grocery staples, snacks, beverages, and sweets, we offer far more variety than traditional meal kit services. If you want a bit more control over your weekly food order, you can search or shop by recipe or grocery item on our site. If you prefer to hand all of the planning, decision-making, and shopping to us, our predictive technology proactively picks out personalized recipes and grocery staples and automatically adds them to your cart through SmartCart™, so all you need to do is review and approve your weekly grocery order. Think of it like meal planning on autopilot, where you stay in control but never have to start from scratch.

Hungryroot also has strict sourcing standards, screening out over 200+ ingredients like artificial sweeteners, dyes, additives, preservatives, and hydrogenated oils so you don’t have to.

People who’ve spent their careers obsessed with food. Our recipes come from an in-house team of trained chefs — from French pastry programs to restaurant kitchens to test kitchens at national food magazines — who cook, taste, and fuss over every detail. We use smart tools to scale our library, but a chef tastes, refines, and signs off on each dish so it’s delicious and foolproof in a real home kitchen.
